DESCRIPTION 


'  of  the 


Roll-a-way  Window  Screens 

Manvifactured  by 

C.  F.  Purirvton  Co.,  So.  Easton,  Mass. 


r o  the  Public : 

In  presenting  this  booklet,  we  assume  that  the  necessity  of  window  screens  of  some  sort 
is  acknowledged  by  all;  that  fly  and  insect  infested  houses  are  admitted  to  be  intolerable,  from 
the  view-point  both  of  health  and  comfort. 

Therefore,  it  will  only  be  necessary  for  us  to  point  to  the  highest  development  of  the 

screen  art — lohe  ^Screen — to  convince  you  that  it  is  the 

best,  most  durable,  most  convenient,  and  most  sanitary  screen  cn  the  market. 

*  We  hope  you  will  peruse  the  contents  of  this  little  book,  and  become  familiar  with  the 

many  merits  we  claim  for  our  screen.  ^  m  t- 

C.  r.  PUKINION,  Ireasurer. 


The  illustration  on  the  opposite  page  gives  a 
slight  idea  of  the  appearance  of  the  screen 
when  in  the  window.  Its  effect  is  ornamental 
and  in  every  way  pleasing  when  in  use^  and 
nearly  invisible  when  not  in  use.  It  has  a  roll, 
a  little  over  an  inch  in  diameter,  which  is  paint¬ 
ed  and  varnished  to  match  the  sash.  The  screen 
winds  into  and  out  of  this  roll  on  to  a  metal 
tube.  A  steel  rod  passes  through  .this  tube,  and 
is  connected  to  it  by  means  of  a  spring.  On 
each  end  of  the  rod  is  fastened  a  pinion  or  gear 
wheel  which  engages  a  rack  placed  at  the  sides 
of  the  window.  One  end  of  the  wire  cloth  is 
fastened  to  the  window  sill,  and  the  other  at¬ 
tached  to  the  /tube,  and  the  act  of  raising  or 
lowering  the  roll  unwinds  or  winds  up  the  cloth, 
as  the  case  may  be.  The  work  is  done  by  the 
pinion  and  rack,  and  not  by  the  spring,  which 
merely  retains  uniform  tension  or  the  wir^e 
cloth. 


A  RUBBER  WEATHERSTRIP 

closes  the  opening  between  the  upper  and  lower 
sashes,  when  the  window  is  partly  open,  and  keeps 
out  dust  and  wind  wlren  window  is  closed. 

MATERIAL. 

The  “Roll-a-way”  is  well  made.  There  is 
almost  no  machinery  in  it.  Almost  nothing  to 
wear.  It  should  outlast  any  other  screen  on 
the  market,  a^  all  parts  are  protected  from  the 
weather. 

We  !ise  “Pearl”  wire  cloth,  the  best  cloth  of 
which  we  have  any  knowledge,  woven  and  tem¬ 
pered  for  our  use.  It  is  steel  wire  galvanized, 
which  resists  the  action  of  the  elements  to  a 
remarkable  degree,  and  requires  no  paint. 

We  also  use  “Roman  Bronze”  wire  cloth  if 
preferred.  This  is  a  specially  woven  cloth  of 
bronze  wire. 

'  Either  kind,  if  injured  by  accident,  can  be  re¬ 
placed  at  a  slight  cost.

Gears  engage  with  racks  at  sides  of  window  frames,  and  turn  rod.  Inner  case  is  attached  to 
''od  by  spring  which  turns  with  rod.  Wire  cloth  is  fastened  to  inner  case.  ^ 

JSotice.  The  spring  turns  with  the  rod,  simplj  maintaining  a  slight  tension  on  the  cloth 
t*  trough  inner  case. 

Jt  does  not  ’‘‘‘tvind-up.)^'  as  in  a  roller  curtain  fixture. 


To  use  the  “Roll-a-waj”  unwind  it  bj  raising 
the  roll  to  the  height  desired,  then  raise  the 
window  so  that  the  lower  sash  bar  is  opposite 
the  roll.  To  put  it  away,  rewind  it  bj  lowering 
the  roll. 

It  is  not  necessary  to  take  the  “Roll-a-way” 
from  the  window;  it  is  always  there,  ready  for 
use  the  moment  you  want  it.  .  You  can  raise  or 
lower  the  roll  with  one  finger.  It  moves 
smoothly,  no  hitching,  slight  resistance,  just 
enough  to  make  it  stay  in  place.  You  can  have 
your  screen  and  your  window  any  height  that 
you  like,  from  one  to  forty  inches.  It  looks  and 
acts,  and  is  the  same  at  all  heights.  Raise  your 
window  to  any  height,  raise  the  roll  to  that 
height,  and  your  window  is  perfectly  screened. 
Close  your  window,  lower  the  roll,  and  your 
screen  is  out — not  really  out — but  better  than 
out;  it  is  ready  for  instant  use.  You  never 
need  to  remove  it ;  there  is  no  occasion  to  do 
that— nobody  wants  it  out. 


Other  screens  get  destroyed  when  not  in  use  i 
“put  away  for  safe  keeping!”  There  is  no  good 
place  in  a.house  to  store  screens ;  and  it  isn’t 
worth  while  to  provide  one.  They  get  foul  and 
rusty,  and  broken  and  torn.  As  a  house  is  in¬ 
jured  more  by  not  being  used,  so  is  a  screen. 

But  the  “Roll-a-way”  is  perfectly  protected 
from  the  weather  when  not  in  use. 

If  you  want  to  wash  your  window,  lower  the 
screen,  and  proceed  as  if  it  were  out;  it  is  out 
of  your  way,  and  you  don’t  have  to  put  it  in 
again.  Once  in,  it  is  always  in — in  when  you 
want  it  in  ;  out  when  you  don’t. 

If  you  want  to  open  your  window — to  shake 
a  cloth  or  rug,  or  get  at  the  blinds  or  awning,  for 
instance — lower  your  screen.  The  window  is  as 
handy  to  open  as  if  the  screen  were  not  there. 

Any  carpenter  can  install  the  screen — in  fact, 
anybody  who  can  use  a  hammer  and  screw 
driver.  Complete  directions  are  sent  with  the 


screens. 


HOW  TO  MEASURE  YOUR.  WINDOWS. 

Measure  every  window  separately. 

Close  it  down  tight,  and  take  these  measures; 

A  A,  from  stop-bead  to  stop-bead,  exact  to  a 
sixteenth  of  an  inch. 

B  B,  from  window  stool  to  top  of  lower  sash. 

State  color  of  sash  of  every  window,  inside  and 
outside. 

We  make  rolls  and  side  strips  to  match  your 
sash,  any  color. 


BOW  WINDOWS. 

The  roll  screen  is  used  with  them,  by  attach¬ 
ing  a  “bow-plate”  to  the  lower  sash;  the  roll 
raised  to  this  plate  makes  a  fly-tight  joint. 

Drop  the  sash  on  a  piece  of  stiff  paper,  and 
mark  on  the  paper  the  inside  curve  of  the  sash. 
Take  other  measurements  as  given  above.

Dear  Sirs: — Five. years  ago  I  had  a  two-flat 
tenement  house  at  West  Medford  fully  supplied 
by  you  with  the  roller  window  screens.  They 
are  apparently  in  as  good  working  condition  at 
present  as  when  first  put  on,  and  as  they  proved 
so  satisfactory,  I  had  two  houses  at  Clifton  fully 
fitted  with  your  “Roll-a-way”  screens  this 
summer.  They  have  been  in  use  all  summer, 
giving  entire  satisfaction,  and  superior  to  any 
other  of  several  makes  that  I  have  used. 

Hoping  you  continued  success,  I  remain 
Yours  truly, 

E.  F.  Locke.

Your  roll  window  screen  is  a  perfect  thing.  Having  had 
several  put  on  my  windows,  and  thus  having  an  oppor¬ 
tunity  to  test  them,  I  can  recommend  them  to  all  desiring 
good  window  screens.  I  would  not  be  without  them.

Gentlemen  In  reply  to  yours  of  the  3rd, 
would  say  we  have  had  the  “National”  rolling 
screen  in  use  throughout  our  office  for  the  last 
four  years,  and  cannot  see  but  that  they  are  as 
good  today  as  the  day  purchased.  We  consider 
them  the  best  screen  made,  and  when  next  in 
want  of  window  screens  will  take  the  matter  up 
with  you. 

Yours  very  truly,

I  want  to  speak  a  word  in  praise  of  your  incomparable 
•  window  screen.  I  have  tried  all  makes,  and  have  no 
hesitancy  in  saying  that  the  “Roll-a-way”  is  the  peer  of 
them  all.  Jos.  M.  Salomon.

I  have  had  the  “Roll-a-way”  screens  put  in  at  my  house. 

I  am  more  than  satisfied  with  them,  they  work  per-

Gentlemen :  —  I  h  ave 
to  say  that  we  have  in¬ 
stalled,  in  the  Hotel 
Westminster,  about 
seven  hundred  of  your 
“Roll-a-way”  screens. 
They  are  certainly  a 
most  attractive  fixture, 
and  embody  features 
unequalled  by  any  other- 
screen  that  I  have  ever 
seen.  They  have  at¬ 
tracted  considerable  at¬ 
tention  here,  and  I  have 
had  occasion  to  recom¬ 
mend  them  t(r  a  great 
number  of  persons  in¬ 
terested  in  that  direc¬ 
tion.  I  am  glad  to  ex¬ 
press  my  friendly 
feelings  toward  the 
“Roll-a-way”  screen  at 
this  time.

I  am  pleased  to  say  that  your  screen  5 
g^ive  entire  satifaction.  They  please  every 
body  who  sees  them,  and  work  as  if  they 
might  last  many  years.  They  are  always 
in  place,  and  ready  for  the  first  fly  that  ap¬ 
pears.  The  runs  on  the  side  and  the  rub¬ 
ber  between  the  sash  keep  out  the  cold,  so 
there  is  no  necessity  for  double  windows. 
By  saving  that  expense,  as  well  as  bother 
twice  a  year,  I  tjiink  they  are  the  most  eco¬ 
nomical  screens  that  I  have  seen.

Gentlemen  : — I  have  used  your  rolling  screens 
for  the  past  four  years.  They  have  remained  in 
good  order  and  have  given  me  great  satisfaction. 
When  I  require  screens  I  will  be  pleased  to  order 
“Roll-a-way,”  and  I  cheerfully  recommend  them 
to  others.  Wm.  Tumbridge,  Prop. 


Boston,  Oct.  14th,  1904. 

I  have  put  your  “Roll-a-way”  screens  into  sev¬ 
eral  apartment  houses  and  dwellings,  and  find 
them  very  satisfactoiy.  I  have  just  screened  one 
apartment  house  of  nearly  four  hundred  windows 
and  they  are  liked  very. much  by  the  tenants.

Station  B,  Long-  Branch,  N.  J.,  Nov.  13,  1903. 

The  “Roll-a-way”  ^  screens  installed  by  you  in  my 
country  home  last  spring,  are  satisfactory  in  every  respect. 
They  had  a  good  test  during  the  summer.  Mosquitoes 
were  as  thick  as  sands  on  the  beach — but  not  one  in  the 
house.  Should  you,  at  any  time,  make  any  improvement 
on  them  (I  can’t  see  where)  send  a  circular  to

My  Dear  Sirs: — I  wish  to  give  my  endorse¬ 
ment  to  your  “Roll-a-way”  screen,  after  having- 
made  a  thorough  trial  of  the  same  in  the  Albany 
Hospital.  They  are  so  practical,  so  simple  and 
yet  so  effective,  that  it  is  really  a  wonderful  in¬ 
vention  in  that  line.  In  large  institutions  of 
this  sort  the.  ultimate  aim  is  to  procure  appli¬ 
ances  that  will  be  durable,  practical  and  at  as 
small  expense  as  expedient,  all  of  which  seems 
to  have  been  accomplished  in  youi  screen,  and 
I  earnestly  recommend  them  for  this  or  any 
similar  purpose. 

John  L.  Godley,  Supt. 

I.ynn,  Mass.,  Nov.  4,  1903. 

In  reply  to  your  inquiry,  will  say  that  I  am  much  pleased 
with  the  “Roll-a-way”  window  screens.  They  have  given 
general  satisfaction.  J  have  your  address  on  memorandum 
with  the  purpose  of  ordering  of  you  whenever  1  shall  need 
any  more.  J.  E.  Hodgkins. 

Swampscott,  Mass.,  Nov.  19,  1903. 

Replying  to  your  inquiry,  1  will  say  that  the  screens 
have  given  splendid  satisfaction.  ll.  K.  Gardiner.

I  have  found  the 
Purinton  screen  very 
satisfactory,  and  have 
had  many  inquiries

whom  I  have  strongly 
recommended  it.

Gentlemen: — My  attention  was  first  called  to 
the  ‘“Roll  a-way”  screen  some  five  years  ago  in 
the  flat  in  which  I  live  in  Boston, — one  of  those 
belonging  to  the  Thomas  estate  on  Hemingway 
and  Gainsboro  Sts  ,  and  Mr.  Pierce,  the  manager, 
will  corroborate  me  when  I  say  that  they  are  far 
ahead  of  the  ordinary  screen.  I  thought  so  well 
of  them  that  I  gave  them  my  order  for  my  apart¬ 
ment  house  here,  which  has  been  built  two  years 
We  have  never  yet  had  any  occasion  for  a  single 
repair  and  they  are  now  as  good  as  new.

Dear  Sirs  : — Replying  to  your  favor  of  the 
3rd,  will  say  that  the  roller  screens  we  bought 
from  you  three  years  ago  are  in  as  good  condi¬ 
tion  as  the  day  we  bought  them,  and  have  given 
entire  satisfaction.  We  consider  the  roller 
screens  superior  to  any  other  kind.

In  reply  to  your  letter  of  the  3rd  inst.,  regarding  the 
“Roll-a-way”  window  screens  purchased  from  you  about 
5  years  ago,  I  would  say  that  we  have  them  still  in  use, 
as  good  as  the  first  day  they  were  put  up.  Of  course  these 
are  in  my  own  apartments,  where  they  are  not  abused,  and 
]  think  they  would  last  indefinitely  with  any  proper  care. 
Should  I  decide  to  put  them  through  the  hotel  generally, 
1  should  prefer  them  to  anything  else.

Mrs.  W.  H.  Seaich  feels  that  she  cannot  speak  too 
highly  of  the  “Roller  Screens”  which  were  put  in  her 
cottage  at  Earchmont.  They  have  been  a  perfect  success, 
and  a  great  comfort  to  all  members  of  her  family.  Later 
on  she  will  want  some  more,  and  will  notify  you  early  in 
the  spring  season.

Of  the  “Roll-a-way”  window  screens  that  I  put  in  my 
house  last  year,  I  have  this  to  say:  They  are  the  best 
window  screens  I  have  ever  seen,  and  give  perfect  satis¬ 
faction.  When  I  have  to  use  more  window  sereens  they 
will  certainly  be  of  the  same  kind.  S.  Witt.,  M.  D.

Your  favor  of  the  5th  inst.  is  received.  Yes,  the  screens 
you  sent  us  have  proved  very  satisfactory.  We  all  think 
them  the  best  screens  made  that  we  have  ever  seen. 
Some  of  them  have  been  in  use  for  a  twelve-month,  and 
are  apparently^as  good  as  new.  I  have  recently  referred 
two  parties  to  you,  who  admired  them.

for  the  “Roll-a-way”  window  screens.  I- have  three  of  them, 
and  they  have  always  worked  perfectly.  I  hope  to  be  able 
to  put  them  all  over  my  house  soon.

We  have  found  the  “Roll-a-way”  window  screens  a  great 
convenience.  F.  A.  Goocii. 

Hyde  Park,  Mass.,  Nov.  5,  1903. 

In  answer  to  your  letter  of  Nov.  3,  would  say,  1  am 
more  than  pleased  with  your  screens.  They  always  look 
good,  and  can  be  rolled  up  or  down,  or  entirely  out  of  the 
way  in  a  second,  which  makes  them  very  handy.

I  had  installed  in  my  house  some  of  your  roll  winnow 
screens  last  summer,  and  am  delighted  with  them.  They 
are  neater,  more  easily  handled,  and  more  effective  than 
any  1  have  used.  1  have  ordered  another  lot  of  them,  to  be 
put  up  in  the  spring.  Ira  Mowery. 

Glenmont,  N.  Y.,  Dec.  7,  1903. 

The  “Roll-.a-way”  window  screens  which  1  have  in¬ 
stalled  in  my  house  have  given  great  satisfaction.

Your  favor  received;  the  window  screens  give  entire 
satisfaction,  and  we  are  j^leased  with  them.

I  am  glad  to  say  your 
screens  are  the  best  I 
have  ever  used,  and  have 
used  them  two  years 
without  repairs,  and 
found  them  entirely 
satisfactory. 

Yours  truly,

Melrose,  Mass.,  Oct.  6,  1903. 

Your  letter  of  Oct.  3rd  is  received,  asking  for  informa¬ 
tion  in  regard  to  the  National  roller  screens.  I  consider 
the  roller  screen  as  near  perfect  as  it  is  possible  for  any 
screen  to  be.  When  building  a  new  house  some  four 
years  ago  I  put  on  the  screens  on  the  most  of  my  windows 
and  a  year  ago  last  spring  I  ordered  screens  for  the  balance 
of  my  windows.  If  I  could  not  get  others  to  take  their 
place,  I  would  not  set  any  price  on  these  screens.  They 
are  all  right  in  every  particular.  If  you  have  anyone  in 
my  locality  wishing  to  see  screens  that  have  been  in  con¬ 
stant  use  four  and  one-half  years,  they  can  call  at  my 
house  at  any  time  to  see  them.  Jos.  H.  Allen. 

Boston,  Mass.,  Nov.  12,  1903. 

In  reply  to  your  inquiry  of  Nov.  9th,  I  take  pleasure  in 
saying  that  the  “Roll-a-way”  window  screens  which  you 
installed  in  our  house  last  summer  are  entirely  satisfac¬ 
tory  in  every  way.  We  have  had  a  dozen  or  more  of  them 
in  use  for  two  or  three  years  before  these  last  ones  were 
put  in,  and  they  have  never  required  any  alteration,  or 
repairs  of  any  kind.  They  are  a  great  convenience  and 
we  should  be  unwilling  to  be  without  them.  We  have 
recommended  them  to  a  number  of  our  friends. 

Henry  J.  Williams. 

Waterford,  N.  Y.,  Nov.  11,  1903. 

In  reply  to  your  favor  of  9th  inst.,  would  say  that  the 
“Roll-a-way”  window  screens  that  I  have  at  my  residence 
have  given  the  very  best  satisfaction,  and  are  the  most 
perfect  device  for  a  window  screen  that  I  have  ever  seen. 
They  are  the  only  ones  of  this  kind  in  the  vicinity,  and 
have  been  approved  of  by  many  who  have  seen  them.

In  regard  to  the  fly  screens  that  you  put  in  for  me  last 
summer,  would  say  that  they  are  the  nicest  piece  of  furni- 
ture  that  I  have  in  my  house,  as  they  are  not  only  useful 
but  01  namental.  Me  have  left  them  in  all  winter,  and 
when  the  first  fly  in  the  spring  comes,  all  we  have  to  do  is 
to  use  them,  and  the  flies  are  kept  out.  Would  not  have 
them  taken  out  for  four  times  what  they  cost.  The  coming 
summer  I  am  going  to  have  every  window  in  my  house 
provided  with  them.  c.  A.  Waters. 


Cambridge,  Mass,,  Nov.  ii,  1903, 

We  have  yours  of  the  9th  inst.  in  regard  to  the  “Roh- 
a-way”  screens,  and  in  reply  would  say  that  the  last  lot 
which  we  put  in  has  provta  as  satisfactory  as  did  the  lot 
which  we  first  put  in  seven  years  ago.  We  shall  be  glad 
to  communicate  with  you  if  we  find  that  we  need  any 
further  screens.

'We  fitted  a  few  of  our  windows  with  your  “Roll-a-way” 
screens  several  years  since,  and  have  added  more  twice 
since.  All  have  proved  very  satisfactory,  the  first  ones 
being  in  as  good  condition  now  as  the  most  recent.

Dorchester,  Mass.,  Nov.  ii,  1903. 

In  reply  to  your  favor  of  the  9th  inst.,  1  would  say  that 
I  have  used  the  rolling  screens  in  my  house  for  the  last 
eight  years,  and  they  have  given  perfect  satisfaction.

My  house  was  fitted 
last  suiTimer  with  the 
“Roll-a-wav”  window 
screens.  Tliese  screens 
are  very  convenient, 
and  have  given  good 
satisfaction.  They  are 
always  in  place,  and 
ready  for  use.
